Faceture is a series of handmade faceted, elegant and numbered vessels by London designer Phil Cuttance. Faceture series is perfect for anyone appreciating contemporary substantial design.

Each object is produced individually by casting a water-based resin into a simple handmade mould. The mould is then manually manipulated by pushing and pulling parts of the folded plastic net inwards and outwards to create every piece utterly unique. The resin is poured into the hollow mould and rolled around to coat and encase the sides, controlled by the designer on the casting jig on the machine. The material soon sets creating a hollow solid object. Then another, different coloured measure of resin is poured into the same mould, and swirled around inside, over the first. When it has set, the mould is removed to reveal the solid set cast piece. The casting appears with sharp accurate lines and a digital quality to its aesthetic, a visual 'surprise' considering the ‘lo-fi’, hand-made process from which it came. The mould is then cleaned and ready for re-use.

Despite the crisp appearance of the pieces, they may have tiny slight surface imperfections as a result of the process; ie where the mould is joined with tape during casting; this is part of the handmade story.
